The Dreaming Sequence: 9 Hours of Relaxing Hypnotic Spa

The sun has come out and the flowers are in bloom, as we awake from a very long winter, it feels like the perfect time to share new music to pair with this moment. We're very happy to present a new mix series, of guests and friends alike, to further explore what Hypnotic Spa is, and can be. Kicking it off is a mix recorded from a well-known Brooklyn selector and party contributor, Rage.inald, and a rather talented singer and freestyle man, Khallee, collectively known as VIBP. "100% freestyle. One take."

We present to you a recording of the first half of Hypnotic Spa at Sustain Release: Year Five. We were very happy to be invited to close-out the Grove stage at Camp Kennybrook on Saturday morning. What transpired among the pines was pure magic, a spiritual exercise that echoed the sacred traditions of our ancestors, and one that might best represent our efforts with this music more than ever before. It was a blessing and an honor to perform. 

Thank you for listening and for joining us on this journey, may the time you spend with us be blessed and enriching. Special thanks to Zack Kerns for recording this, and a deep thank you to Aurora, Daniel and everyone else for the wonders they do with Sustain-Release. "It's moments like these that we find who we are and recognize ourselves, our place among the cosmos, through time, our journey and beyond. Pure love to all those who tune-in with us and feel the magic, we love you and we're so glad you're here with us!" -Hypnotic Spa

Hypnotic Spa at Sustain - Release: Year Five

We present for you a live set recorded on September 19th at Hypnotic Spa by the Swedish artist Hans Berg, who we were fortunate to be able to invite while he was in town for Sustain-Release. As co-founder of the label UFO Station Recordings with Johanna Knutsson, Hans typically produces and releases spiraling techno with a hint of ethereal. For this occasion he brought a table of gear and performed a touching, massaging soundscape for the Spa. Was a treat to host and meet him and we hope you all enjoy the music.

Hans Berg (Live) at Hypnotic Spa

A whoosh, a whir, a house and a set of rooms, "where are we?". Let's have a look... Live at Nowadays, Alternative Medicine is a label run by Mike Bloom and Milo McBride. As an ensemble it is a rotating cast of characters. This session they were joined by Hypnotic Spa's Maxime Robillard. They played a live, improvised set using a sampler, Moog bass, Fender Rhodes keyboard among other instruments. Thank you for visiting, clicking pay, and accepting our invitation to feel a bit of what happened that evening.

Alternative Medicine (Live) at Hypnotic Spa

It all happened under a clear and starry night. X-Coast took to the controls at Nowadays for Hypnotic Spa's Planetarium residency on 11/29. Lights were dimmed, spirits drifted, dreams were dreamt. This document still might have that effect. Best if enjoyed in your sensory deprivation tank. Thanks for tuning in!

There's no telling if a song has begun, there are no more songs to be discussed, just a plane of sonic existence. With a mix of live vocals and singing bowls, recorded artifacts and other music, Maraliz Campos weaves a dynamic and directionless collage - bringing you to a personal space of exploration.

How can one describe Chung? How can many describe Chung? Can a song describe? Or a meal? Or a route home... There's no telling where the reality begins and where the Chung fantasy ends because over time, so much has crossed and we're simply left with the selector known as Chung. Flexing his ambient, ambiguous, out-there muscles for this one, we are happy to present 1/2 of Basement Floor, for Hypnotic Spa. Bless.

Breathe. Hold. Repeat. Chase.

Hypnotic Spa welcomed back rrao and Clay Wilson, the inimitable duo responsible for this sonic dwelling you can now inhabit. This recording has both answers and questions, comments and critiques, predator and prey relationships, and our gratitude. Enjoy.

Neither this audio post nor this description will do justice to the events of the evening Patricia and his wife Josephine brought their audio/visual tour de force to Nowadays for Hypnotic Spa. Ever shifting shapes and colors animorphed to infinity throughout the evening during a most unreal soundscape. Hopefully they have more opportunities to showcase this project, until then, set aside any responsibility for the time being and please enjoy the blessed music.

Patricia Live at Hypnotic Spa

When we invited Løt.te to play live at Hypnotic Spa we had no idea the depths and heights which he would dive and fly to bring us a live set. Since the piece he put together is very personal and narrative-driven, we share this statement by him, along with snippets from his set, to illuminate his process and the project. 

"As a designer and a musician, I’ve always been interested in soundtracks and music that conjures visuals or a sense of place. So when I was asked to perform an hour-long ambient piece at the Hypnotic Spa residency at Nowadays, I wanted to try something different: I wrote a fictional short story (that takes place in my home country of Turkey in the near future where politics and technology are even more dangerously intertwined), from which I selected seven scenes and wrote a screenplay for those pieces. Then I used the screenplay to compose the music that became the piece “Longplay” I performed at Hypnotic Spa.

It’s important to note that despite the process and inspiration from film, this piece is a strictly musical work. The process of writing the story and screenplay was for the sole purpose of aiding the musical composition and grounding the work in a narrative and setting. The story itself is deliberately left obscure for the listener so that they’re free to create their own narrative while experiencing the piece.

The following snippets are selections from three of the seven scenes in “Longplay”."

Flying together in memory of humid foliage, through errant murmurs amongst epitaphs forgotten, is essentially the ecosystem RJ has designed for this Spa session. He collages sounds recorded during his everyday life and experiences with sensitively, binding the rumblings with the tendrils and the shimmers with the warbles. With pleasure, we present one of Hypnotic Spa's most devoted participants. Blessings for the space grown from this recording.

Certain Creatures Live at Hypnotic Spa

A good friend, resident DJ, label boss and founder of The Bunker NY, Bryan Kasenic doesn't usually need an introduction. We'd long seen his sorcery at the helm of the controls at numerous local gatherings, working dance floors with the precision only one with a few decades doing it could, what we'd yet to see was what he'd do on the 'ambient dance floor' i.e. Hypnotic Spa at Nowadays. Herein 96 minutes and 12 seconds attests to that query.  We had our eyes closed as we lied in the dark and dreamt sweet dreams. We recommend doing the same. Track list below. Enjoy the trip!
